A Typographical Error.

In our report of .sCourt-house Expen-
SEES" as printed, there appears this item:
Chair for Court-house-S50." The copy
furnished us for publication made the
sum 81 plainly and there is no excuse
to plead save that it was one of the mis-
takes of the composing-room and iapses
of the proof reader which proves that in
a printing office, mortals. like Jove on
Olympus. may nod. But even the er-
ror carries no weight with the careful
reader, for the footing shows that 81
not $50 entered intothe addition.
The carefully itemized statements of
our officials are given with pride and
pleasure by the Palatka News as a duty
TO the public and to itself. They are ex-
actly such as should be published in every
county in the State. and the scrutiny to
which they are subjected is proved by
graphical error by a taxpayer who
showed his interest by writing to- us for
an explanation. This We gladly make
with the further statement that the
chair in question was a comfortable one
for the Circuit Judge and that no county
official has ever used. or. in all probabili-
ty, will ever do so.
We are paid only ten dollars for pub
lishiAg these voluminous reports, when
the type setting alone costs us over fifty
dollars. But, even at such a loss, We
give them to our readers because they
embody accounts and figures in which
the public has deep interest; therefore
we shall continue their publication to the
exclusion of high-priced advertising mat
ter. For this reason we the more deeply
regret an error, which has crept into our
columns despite the most careful COM
parison of proof and copy, and we extend
our thanks to the friend who enables us
to make the necessary correction.
In another direction the Palatka NEWS
is enabled To benefit its patrons, and put
the saving in dollars and cents. The
law allows the newspaper one dollar for
each description in publishing the list of
delinquent taxpayers. The Palatka
